List of Approved Texts for Logs – Four and Five Points Literature Program (Updated April, 2019) YES = Approved; NO = Not Approved Please note: 1. There is a separate list (following this one, starting on page 19) which includes texts that have NOT been approved for teaching literature Logs on either the four OR the five-point level. Please refer to that list as well before submitting a request for a text that is written here. 2.
